Figure 4.13 shows th<strong>at</strong> there has been a steady increase in the number <strong>of</strong><br />

Business/Computer Inform<strong>at</strong>ion System students to over 1,000 students in<br />

academic year 1999-2000 and there has also been an increase in the number<br />

<strong>of</strong> General Educ<strong>at</strong>ion students to about 800 as there was a decrease in the<br />

number <strong>of</strong> Health Technology students from 1,100 in 1997 to about 775 in<br />

1999. <strong>The</strong> number <strong>of</strong> students enrolling in Industrial Technology, Manufacturing<br />

Technology, and Engineering Technology has remained rel<strong>at</strong>ively constant over<br />

the years <strong>at</strong> between 200-to-375 students.<br />

While the numbers <strong>of</strong><br />

TSTC gradu<strong>at</strong>es is<br />

increasing, the<br />

volume is rel<strong>at</strong>ively<br />

small given the<br />

needs <strong>of</strong> the valley.
